STEP BY STEP
Let’s make it.
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray. Combine the almond meal, baking powder, salt and half the sesame seeds.
- Stir in the grated mozzarella, eggs and yogurt to make a thick, sticky dough. Rest for 10 minutes to allow the meal to hydrate.
- Divide into 6 equal mounds on the tray. With damp hands, shape each into a squat bun about 7 cm wide; they will spread slightly.
- Scatter with the remaining sesame seeds and press them lightly into the dough. Bake for 22–28 minutes until golden, firm and free of wet dough at the center.
- Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then move to a rack. Divide into 6 servings, allowing the buns to cool before splitting.
Kitchen notes
- Finely grated low-moisture mozzarella gives more consistent dough than fresh mozzarella packed in liquid.
